Don’t miss your chance to qualify for the National Championship. There are still plenty of opportunities to play, including any of the remaining stops on the WSOP Circuit schedule.
Action folded to an unknown player on the button and he put in a raise to 5,300. Chris Bigler was next to act in the small blind and wasted little time in getting all in for 25,300 total. The big blind folded and the button hit the tank. After thinking about it for 90 seconds, he released his hand, much to Bigler's dismay as he was obviously looking for a double. Nonetheless, Bigler took down the pot and is still holding on with around 35,000.
Interestingly, WSOP Circuit ring winner Joe Phelps was seated next door and we noticed he's managed to build a decent stack as of late. He is currently sitting with around 130,000.

Aaron Massey has been making some noise on the circuit this year. He has seven cashes since October, including a 3rd place finish in the WSOPC Southern Indiana Main Event for just over $48,000. Massey is easy to spot in a crowded field because he plays bigger and louder than his five and half foot frame would suggest.

Hand 7 - He folded preflop out of order and apologized to the table. The blinds went up just in time for his big blind.
Hand 8 - From the big blind he counted up the blinds and antes out loud and then announced, "My number is 5.8, but I'll let you guess what that means. Wait, I'm the big blind so it's more like a 5.4." His friends on the rail questioned his math and he said, "Mind your business, I do the math around here." He folded to a 10,000 opening raised with the big blind at 2,400.
Hand 9 - He folded preflop to an early position player that moved all in.
